PETER RUTKOVTSKI, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

GAS-SAVING AND POT-PROTECTING DEVICE.

Application filed November 22, 1923.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PETER RUrKowsKl, acitizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inGas-Saving and Pot-Protecting Devices, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in gas stoves, more particularlyto an attachment for such stoves intended to conserve the heat of thegas flame, and to prevent a burning and tarnishing of the bottom of thecooking vessels, and for protecting the flame against draft and overflowof liquids and food.

Another object of the invention is the provision of an attachment forgas stoves which is simple and inexpensive to make and which canconveniently be attached to any stove.

These and other objects of my invention will become more fully known asthe description thereof proceeds, and will then be specifically pointedout in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of an attachment constructed according tothe present invention.

Figure 2 is a cross-section on line 2-2 of Figure 1.

The attachment consists of a casing 10, preferably made of metal,adapted to be placed upon a burner, with the feeding plpes for the samewithin the recesses 11.

The casing 10 has a roof 12 equipped with an inner lining 13 preferablyasbestos. In its center the cover or roof 12 is provided with an opening14, over which a raised frame 15 is located having suitable open spacesbetween its bars.

A dome 16 surmounts or rises above the roof 12 over the opening 1 1- andframe 15. The dome 16 has a roof 17, the inner face of which is providedwith a lining 18 preferably asbestos.

On top of the roof 17 is pivotally secured in approximately its middleas at 19, a bar 20 provided with flanged open ends 21 an'd 22 adapted tobe engaged by the oppositely disposed prongs 23 of the customary spideror' grate 24C for the stove upon which the cooking vessels, etc., areplaced.

It will be clear that the attachment described above when placed over aburner,

Serial No. 676,427.

will prevent the flame from .spreading and against drafts and thusconcentrate the entire force of the same onto the roof and the cookingvessels supported thereby. Furthermore, the asbestos lined roofs willprevent an extinguishing of the flame by the overflow of liquids andfoods, and a burning of the bottoms of the cooking vessels and atarnishing of the same by smoke and soot, thus guaranteeing a cleancooking operation and preventing a burning of the food.

It will be clear that changes may be made in the general arrangement andin the construction of the minor details'of my invention, withoutdeviating from the scope and spirit thereof.

hat I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates is:

1. A gas stove attachment comprising a flanged casing adapted to beplaced over a burner, a roof for said casing, a dome on top of saidroof, means rotatably secured to the top of said dome for allowing afastening of said attachment to a grate, and protect the flame againstdrippings, and means for preventing a tarnishing of the cooking vessels.

2. A stove attachment of the class described comprising a casingincluding depending flanges on said casing for protecting the flameagainst draft, provided with recesses for allowing the passage of theburner feed pipes, a roof for said casing for protecting the flameagainst drippings from overflow, provided with openings, a dome on saidroof, a bar pivotally secured intermediate its ends on top of said domeand adapted to engage with its ends the prongs of a grate for securingsaid attachment over 'a burner, and means for preventing a tarnishing ofthe cooking vessels.

3. A stove attachment of the class described comprising a casing, meansfor placing said casing over a stove burner and protecting the flameagainst draft, a roof for said casing for protecting the flame againstdrippings, an asbestos lining for the inner face of said roof, a domesurmounting said roof and having a top, an inner asbestos lining forsaid top, and means pivotally secured to said top for securing theattach ment to a grate over the burner.

In testimony whereof I have afliXed my signature.

PETER RUTKOWSKI.
